This is sad. Texas just isn’t supporting Hockey despite a growing high school program in the Dallas area. My nearest big city, Lubbock, lost their team five years ago and the university (Texas Tech University) lost a club team at the same time, both if which because the only arena in town capable if hockey decided it was not profitable enough (though there were vender issues that could’ve been addressed and weren’t really).

It’s a shame the Stars haven’t been better over the last few years. Interest in the game as a whole really did spike in the early 00s following their cup run and its turned south since. We aren’t a hockey area in any measure of traditional or logical sense but it was definitely taking hold for a while. It actually was working and now it isn’t.
